I have been in 2 accidents. Once when I was 13 crossing the street in the cross walk and a drunk driver hit me while I was on my bike. I had a busted bottom lip needed  stitches and all else was ok. Thank God. The other one I was coming to a stop light in my car and a man speeding up the street jumped in the turning lane as the light was changing and swerved  back into the lane I was in he hit my front end and my car spun hit a pole then spun again and slammed into a huge palm tree and my front end was wrapped around it. My right ankle was trapped between the gas and brake pedal. Cracked ankle wounded up in a cast for about a year. Strange thing was the police was sitting in the parking lot having a conversation with another cop and they seen the whole thing.  One of the cops chased the guy down and arrested him but he gave a family members name and bailed out. When it was time to go to court he had left the country, yeah he was an illegal and the family member who was a citizen almost paid the cost for him. I am happy to say that I am blessed to still be alive. :angel11:

      Oh! Do not ask! Many times someone else hits me...and it is not my fault. My opinion is: "Distracted driving is a dead end!"  What are all these other drivers doing?

lol.  Me too.  Been hit 3 or 4 times.  Can't remember.  Every time it was the other driver's fault.
The last time I was sitting at a red light and this idiot comes up behind me with his face in the floor board picking up something he dropped and wham he runs into the back of me.

A few...of course none of them were my fault...LOL!!  I have a pretty good driving record but have been in a few minor accidents.  Fortunately, nothing serious.

I was in a car accident and it left me a quadriplegic because the driver was under the influence of alcohol.

I was in three accidents in two months time frame.

Two were the fault of the other driver but I got blamed for one because the driver talked a witness into lying for him and I took the fall because the cop ignorantly took his word for it...even though the witness statement made no complete sense.

I digress...

The last accident was because I side swiped a wall I thought I had cleared  ::)

I caused an accident once. I ran a stop sign and got hit by another vehicle.  No one was hurt, thank God...lots of vehicle damage and I got a ticket.  I was preoccupied, not paying attention to my driving and  I learned my lesson. Clear your mind and focus on the task at hand.

Yes, I was in a bus accident.  I was hospitalized for five days as a result.  I am still afraid to ride the bus.

2, within 3 months. The first one  a man in a large pickup ( 1 ton) hit me and dang near turned my little light pickup over. Yep he ran a red light.  Messed me up a lot. tore all my muscles up in my back and messed p my spine. Shots for 8 months into it, Plus a lot of therapy  for 2 years.  3 months after the first wreck I was hit in the rear end of my car. set me back a lot. But the person who hit me fared badly . Not hurt but the whole front of her brand new Toyota pickup was totaled. I was driving my old 75 Chrysler New Yorker. Built like a dang tank. Only had 2 scratches on the bumper. Thank the Lord. it could have ben  worse.
